There are several drivers in drivers/net/usb/ that
do not have specific MAINTAINERS that should have
emails forwarded to the linux-usb mailing list.
Add a section for those drivers.

I should have done this in the first patch.
Oh well...

But netdev is the one that applies these patches, not linux-usb, so this
isn't correct either.
sorry,

Lots of "maintainers" don't apply patches.
This is simply a means to forward patches to
relevant lists that may have reviewers that care
about changes to certain files.
You suggested that linux-usb should get copies
of these patches.
These files are not marked as "Maintained", just
"Odd fixes". I suppose these could be marked
"Orphan" instead.
You have a suggestion otherwise?

I have no idea what you are meaning here.

Yes, they should, for review, but so should netdev.

Add netdev to the L: list as well.

Just that maintainers aren't necessarily appliers.
In fact, most aren't.

I don't think it's necessary.
get_maintainers already shows that via the
NETWORKING DRIVERS section F: drivers/net/
Maybe adding
W: http://www.linux-usb.org/usbnet
might be useful, but it seems pretty out of date.
btw: This is a similar section to what I suggested.
No named "maintainer"
NETWORKING DRIVERS
L: netdev@vger.kernel.org
W: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/Net

Ah, I thought this entry would have overridden it, sorry about that.
Can you resend this so that I can apply it?

Thanks, I'll queue this up next week for the next round of patches to go
to Linus.
